Nah, nothing that the Alliance did could compare to what Varis planned to do, which would've been bad for the Eorzean tribes as well.

Pointing out someone's bad treatment is irrelevant when what you're trying to do will be worse.

Does that make what they experience less valid or not a concern?
Honest answer:

Yes, because this is a community, and the OP is trying to get the community to act in a certain way, but it is filled with diverse people with different values.

It's like the people who say the hardcore raiding community is toxic. There are people here who would say it's actually not and any toxicity is actually rare occurrences or even exaggerated. Even if so, that doesn't change people's individual anecdotal experiences, but people still wouldn't want the raiding community to be viewed by what people would claim to be the minority/exaggerated experience.

The benefit of the doubt only extends to admitting that people's experiences might be true. It doesn't extend to discussion on what should then be done about it. Other people could chime in with different experiences. Thus, taking all of them together, there could be discussion on how bad the problem really is or whether it even matters to the community as a whole. Also, context matters. Maybe it's a problem when you're trying to pug and learn/farm a difficult content, but not when you're just doing your daily roulette. Again, people have different experiences and opinions on it.
